US PRESIDENT Donald Trump urged Americans to abandon conflict and help him remake the fabric of the country in his first address to Congress, a moment he hopes will turn the page on his administration's chaotic beginning and bring clarity to his policy agenda.

"What we are witnessing today is the renewal of the American spirit," Mr Trump said. "Our allies will find that America is once again ready to lead. All the nations of the world - friend or foe - will find that America is strong, America is proud, and America is free."
